[Mo Dao Zu Shi Fanfiction] I Raise A Ying in Yiling

Wei Chaoyan took her three younger brothers to a restaurant for a good meal. After they were full, she enthusiastically took them to the bustling market.

Even before approaching the night market, a bustling and lively atmosphere filled the air. Although Yiling Town is located in a remote area and is not usually very prosperous, now, in the cold winter of December, the night market is teeming with people, shoulder to shoulder. The sounds of vendors hawking their wares, discussing, shouting, and the playful and cheerful voices of children rise and fall in a continuous stream.

Seeing the dense crowd at the market, Wei Chaoyan scooped up Qingyan, who was still flailing his short legs on the ground, and held tightly to the smaller Qiye's hand. At the same time, she told Wei Ying to hold onto Qiye's hand tightly and not let go. Even so, Wei Chaoyan still felt uneasy after thinking it over. Looking at the sea of ​​people in front of her, she hesitated and wanted to back out.

But when she caught a glimpse of the three little ones' expectant and longing gazes, Wei Chaoyan couldn't bring herself to say, "Let's not shop anymore, let's go home." Finally, Wei Chaoyan gritted her teeth, stamped her foot, and pulled the others straight to a rope and thread stall on the outskirts of the nearest market. Perhaps because the stall was on the very edge of the market, and because it sold things that weren't of interest to passersby, it was rather deserted.

The stall owner was gazing longingly at the bustling stalls in the market, just as he was feeling envious, when he saw Wei Chaoyan walking towards him with her entourage. His eyes lit up, and he quickly put on a warm smile and greeted her, "Oh, young lady, is there anything you'd like to buy?"

"Let me take a look first." Wei Chaoyan replied casually to the vendor while standing in front of the stall and carefully observing the ropes and threads of various sizes, lengths, and colors displayed on it. Every now and then, she would reach out and pick up a rope or thread that looked good and pull on it to test its toughness.

The vendor's eyes twitched as he watched Wei Chaoyan pick through her goods. His face, which had been beaming with enthusiasm, froze for a moment before he put on a smile again and said warmly and attentively, "Miss, what kind of rope or thread do you need? You can tell me and I'll find it for you." The implication was clear: I'll find it for you, but could you please stop messing with my goods like this? They're going to break if you keep pulling on them!

The vendor's words made Wei Chaoyan realize the inappropriateness of her behavior. "Oh no! I brought my bad shopping habits from my previous life with me!" Wei Chaoyan regretted inwardly: "I forgot that things are not the same as in my previous life!" She quickly put down the red rope she was still holding and said somewhat awkwardly to the vendor across from her: "Um, I would like to buy two red ropes, of medium length, but they must be strong enough that they don't break easily with the slightest force."

"Alright, miss, please wait a moment, I'll find it for you right away." Upon hearing Wei Chaoyan's reply, the peddler knew there was hope and his eyes lit up. He quickly and eagerly approached her.

It had to be the vendors who knew where the goods were. The vendor, who had been searching for ages without finding them, immediately produced them. Wei Chaoyan took the red string the vendor handed her, examining it closely, and even tugged at it to test its strength. Finding it to be quite good, Wei Chaoyan happily asked the vendor how much the red string cost.

"Young lady, fifteen coins a piece," the vendor said with a smile.

"That's too expensive," Wei Chaoyan frowned.

"No way, miss, look at the quality, color, and style, they're all top-notch. If it weren't for your kind face, I wouldn't have offered such a low price," the vendor said with a simple, honest smile.

Hearing him say that, Wei Chaoyan couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly. Not wanting to linger there any longer, she said directly, "Ten coins a stick, I'll buy three."

Seeing Wei Chaoyan's "take it or leave it" expression, the vendor knew that the customer was unwilling to spend time haggling with him and was afraid that she would leave if he kept nagging. So the vendor pretended to be reluctant and said, "Oh dear, I really think you look kind and friendly, so I'll sell it for ten coins. I'll sell it at a loss, just to make friends."

Wei Chaoyan was too lazy to complain about the vendor's cringeworthy behavior. She simply handed the vendor thirty coins, took the three red ropes, and left amidst the vendor's enthusiastic words of "Come back again."

Reaching a less crowded corner, Wei Chaoyan securely tied a red rope to each of her three younger brothers' waists, with the other end tied to herself. She checked the rope's length; it was over a meter long, enough for her brothers to wander around and look around without ever leaving her sight. Satisfied, Wei Chaoyan smiled, ignoring Wei Ying and Qi Ye's strange expressions, and clapped her hands, saying, "That's good enough. Let's go play!"

After saying that, she led her younger brothers to the bustling market with great enthusiasm. Of course, she didn't see how the audience in the live stream, who were stunned by Wei Chaoyan's amazing actions, excitedly flooded the screen!

"Host, you're such a clever little devil!" a netizen said with difficulty, though it was against their true feelings.

"No, streamer, are you leading an ox or walking a dog?!" someone blurted out.

"Well, streamer, um, it's also for the safety of Wei Wuxian and the others. After all, human traffickers were rampant in ancient times," a fan explained resolutely.

"Yeah, yeah!" came a chorus of loud but guilty-looking agreement from below.

No matter how they explain, they can't hide the fact that the anchor they're following, Wei Chaoyan, is a quirky and eccentric woman!
